About us

World Sweet World, that’s Hannah and Thomas Schickedanz, and we have been publishing the MIY/sustainable living magazine called World Sweet World, from 2008 to 2010. The magazine has come to an end, but we’re off to new adventures, like living in a converted schoolbus. We’re also running Schickedanz Design, where we offer web and print design services. Thanks, and see you around!

World Sweet World Magazine gave you a creative hit every few months to inspire you to get making. It consisted of beautifully illustrated, step-by-step instructions for making cool stuff, followed by feature articles about people, places, and sustainable living.

wow, that’s exciting – i think you’re the first person from India who wants to have our magazine ;). You can subscribe to World Sweet World Magazine at http://worldsweetworld.com/iwantone/#subscribe, and you’ll find a sneak preview on worldsweetworld.com as well.

Hi there, I’ve recently been introduced to your magazine and am loving it. My daughter and I have spent some great connecting time with the creative projects in them and are looking at thinking of funky ideas we can send in.
I’m also studying up on typography a bit and would love to know what font your serif body type is in.
Thanks, Kirsten

Hi;
Have a great eco-chic craft activity that takes very little time and results in a very chic coin purse or card wallet. Please let me know if you are interested and I can send in the instructions, links to web versions already, or provide a pictorial tut of how to make.
Your choice if you need something really groovy to fill a small corner.
cheers

I just got back from a year away and my friend lent me 4 issues of your magazine. It might just be the jet lag but I cried when I was reading them. I was so pleased and uplifted by articles and projects. After cracking out the knitting in my flat in London and being met with ridicule I really feel glad to be back home. Not sure what project I will attack first.

Just bought your latest issue at Starfish and am very pleased!
I was wondering if you had heard about the Make Wellington Fair Trade Campaign? I think it would be something your NZ readers would be interested in.

I’ve recently gone back to Australia and boy do I miss WSW. I have yet to see anything even remotely like your practical, funky and educational mag here. I also miss the friendly, inspiring NZ craft community! Don’t ever stop!

Mmmm…….just bought the Summer issue and although it is sometimes hard to find (thank goodness for Auteur House in Hamilton),,,it is worth waiting for. keep up the good work. I find it interesting and thoughtful as well as great to look at. have a great holiday break!!!

I’ve just bought a subscription & received the Summer issue. I’ve been happily creating some of the featured projects from it (+ the previous issue) in my time off this summer. The fabric notebook I made is just the ticket for grocery lists. Next up is the pcinic blanket + bag – just right for lunchtime outside at work! Keep up the cool work.

Your decision to discontinue the magazine is the most environmentally friendly one. What a waste of resources. No wonder that, amongst others, brainless indulgent mistresses with nothing else to be concerned about subscribe to your totally useless mag. I could have well lived without receiving it and I’m so glad you won’t be sending any more. And thank you very much for your contribution to overpopulating the world.

Thanks so much for making WSW. I have loved making crafty projects from the mag this past year! It has inspired me to go on making all kinds of things from soft toys, baby track pants and hats, necklaces, bags and I’ve just begun my first piece of big person clothing – a jacket! It’s tricky. Thanks for inspiring me to continue with this hobbie. Wish you all the best for your new step into parenthood!!

Just got my first ever mag by you guys – so sad it’s your last.
I already hit up my go-to zine shop and have 8 & 7 on the way as well
Glad you’ll be keeping this blog up and running.
Your stuff is inspiring. You two will make the coolest parents, good luck with it all!

Oooh, hi Daniella, thanks for your message – but the last issue had come out in March already, and we’re totally sold out of all previous magazines. There’s still the idea to make issues available for download, but there’s work involved in that, and for the moment, this guy (http://worldsweetworld.com/2010/08/22/a-note-to-our-readers/) is eating up all our time.
